I remember in a discord I frequent, a 4chan era discord, well the discord itself no, the people yes, lot of OG people from the old 4chan internet days, they know a lot about anything internet history related… seriously some smart guys but also weirdos… guess thats what internet does to people
Anyways… we always talk about this shit, there’s a lot that plays into world religions and politics from centuries ago. Events that happened before our ancestors were alive that still have had an impact on our modern society.
Religion and politics should never be mixed, and it has spelled disastrous consequences for humanity
Also… tradition is best. This is what I have learned so far. Progression has ruined society, we are too focused on “MoViNg FoRwArD” instead of focusing on what we have already. Too many young people especially focus on this bullshit idea of progressivism. All its done is create issues that were already solved.
Not necessarily as long as there is non-intervention on everyone’s part to let individuals live freely as people. Thomas Jefferson owned a Quran and was an advocate that the Constitution has a place for everyone, regardless of sex, race, nationality, creed etc… If there is an unjust law, it can be changed just like the 13th amendment. It’s why American experiment has lasted almost 250 years, only second to the Roman empire which lasted 450.
It’s why living freely and a free market is important to me. Don’t pick my pocket. Don’t break my leg (coersion by force) and America will remain a great place for everyone to live and make their livelihood.
The fact its widely available and easy to grow is whats amazing about it. Just takes time to grow it which is the supply issue, which has already proven to be easy to work around with advancements in farming
So create stuff thats “better” but requires more cost and resources
Theres things that obviously hemp can’t beat, metals for example for guns and specific buildings and ships. But hemp for clothes, food, and even building materials is amazing. We need to genuinely focus on hemp more I do agree, there are few things hemp cant beat
I remember this even being mentioned in the discord
That’s what happens when a government tries to preserve itself and its power over the people it is supposed to be serving. If I don’t pay my taxes, licenses, stamps or fees or I get get caught with some arbitrary number of plants here, I am fined financially and am incarcerated by force at the threat of the barrel of a gun. There’s no difference with your example.
Dude. We are so already there. They are international corporations - not beholden to any government. The government cannot even figure out how to tax them - that was a main topic for the G20 just in the last couple of weeks.
Outside of the US they already have their own heavily armed security teams. The private militaries are beastly. Sometimes I wonder if the only reason its not already 100% that way in the US is cause so many of us have guns that we’d fight them off… but maybe they really just don’t care since we are such a tiny and mostly silent and indifferent population…
Venezuela, Zimbabwean and Germany for example. Inflation got worse as the wealthy used corporations - this includes small business - and moved there money out of the country into foreign currency’s like Swiss franc.
It’s called “flight of capital”.
Also one could argue that now that there is a global tax…a few questions.
Who is the sovereign body that controls this corporate tax over 135 countries. My two cent is that they will create a global government body.
Who is going to do the accounting of 135 different sovereign currencies? Most like the acceptance of a CBDC will come into play here and that will allow for a smooth transition.
